Psychjourney and Your Advocate Online are pleased to introduce of a new website, The Insider’s Guide to Laws & Ethics in Mental Health. At Psychjourney we are committed to building the cyber-bridge between health seekers and consumer-centric practitioners. A key buttress to that bridge is an understanding of the laws and regulations that pertain to the delivery of mental treatment as well as the ethical considerations inherent in any profession that serves the public.
This new site consists of three sections: The first section is exclusively articles by attorneys and/or interviews with attorneys on particular matters that are of importance in the delivery of mental health treatment. The other section(s) deals with ethical issues in the field and may include articles or interviews by clinicians and others with expertise on such matters. Interviews for both sections may be in the form of a written Q &A or an audio podcast.
